Deadmeat is a 2007 British urban crime drama thriller film written, directed, produced by, and starring Q. The film is about a man who has just been released from prison and sets out to exact violent revenge against the gang who murdered his brother.
Clarkie (Q) has just been released from prison and is staying in Notting Hill with his elder brother Bones (Brian Bovell), an Internet painting artist and entrepreneur, and his brother's girlfriend, Melanie (Jo Martin), the lawyer who defended Clarkie. Froggy (Roger Griffiths), a friend of the two brothers and Bone's best friend, tells Clarkie that Melanie and Bones set him up to go to prison. Froggy regularly visited Clarkie in prison but Bones did not visit him once. Clarkie is having an affair with Melanie (Jo Martin), which Bones finds about after he proposes to Melanie.
Whilst news is reported about an American serial killer, Bones is found dead in his flat, having apparently hung himself, the death is subsequently attached to "The Cyber Vigilante", whose victims are suspected paedophiles. Clarkie is not convinced Bones killed himself nor does he believe that he was a paedophile consequently killed by a cyber-vigilante. Despite the animosity between the brothers before Bone died, Clarkie embarks on a mission to solve his brother's murder, clear his brother's name and exact revenge on the true culprit of the killing.
Four Years Later... Melanie who is now heavily pregnant tracks down Clarkie, who is living in Woolwich with his new South African, hacker girlfriend Symone (Candice Vetter). Melanie gives him evidence that someone was trying to frame Bones. Clarkie believes Froggy was the paedophile who tried to frame Bones by stealing is identity and making the cyber-vigilante track Bones down. When Clarkie accuses Froggy of stealing his brother's identity, Froggy denies Clarkie's allegations of paedophilia. With Symone's help, Clarkie tracks down the father of a child Froggy had been grooming and gets the child's confession as well as his sister's testimony on camera.
Clarkie travels to Cricklewood to search for Froggy. With the help of an old friend Yang (Lee Chen), Clarkie is led to JJ (Jason Frederick), a photographer who is helping Froggy customise his car, and Clarkie tells him to let Froggy know that he is looking for him. An undercover policewoman, Sarah (Sabrina Chyld), posing as a model tells Clarkie to follow Jamal (Jamal Uddin) and he will find Froggy.
